Where does Liverpool sit on the socio-economic spectrum? The SEIFA score below is sourced from the most recent ABS Census and expressed as an Australia-wide decile, so a decile of 8 means Liverpool is in the top 30% of Australian suburbs by socio-economic advantage. The Liverpool LGA context shows whether Liverpool is above or below the average for its local government area.
A rising SEIFA decile over successive Censuses is one of the clearest signals of gentrification. It captures the demographic shift in who lives in a suburb rather than just what they are paying for housing. If Liverpool has moved up a decile or more between the 2016 and 2021 Censuses, it is undergoing the kind of socio-economic transition that has historically accompanied above-average capital growth in Sydney.
